Notes
'Lucky Star' coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Lucky Star') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, meadows, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White petals surround an orange-yellow center cone from early to late summer. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
